Presidential:Hillary Clinton picked up California's 55 electoral votes. California remains a solid blue state and shows no sign of breaking form the Democratic column on the ballot at the Presidential level any time soon.

House:California saw some of the most competitive U.S. House races this year. Incumbent Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA49) and Ami Bera (D-CA7) remain in very close elections that have yet to be called, but seem to be tilting in the incumbents favor. With California's lengthy ballot counting process these two races might not be declared final for weeks. Other competitive races for Congress from California saw Representatives Jeff Denham (R-CA10), David Valado (R-CA21), Steve Knight (R-CA25), and Scott Peters (D-CA52) re-elected.

Other Notable Election Results:Democrats hold both chambers in the California state house and the Governorship. This election saw Democrats pick up the three seats in the California Assembly and hold all their current seats in the California State Senate. Democrats had hoped for a super-majority, but they failed to pick up the necessary seats in each chamber.

17 ballot initiatives were on the November ballot. Two important initiatives were Proposition 53 and Proposition 64.

Proposition 64 passed 56.14% to 43.86%, the proposition would allow recreational marijuana use in California.

Incumbent Representative Ami Bera (D) won a close re-election after overcoming ethics accusations and his father being convicted of violating Federal election finance law. Bera was challenged by Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones (R).

Representative Jeff Denham (R) defeated farmer Michael Eggman (D).

Denham received support from national players like Speaker Paul Ryan to win this toss up district.

Rohit Khanna (D) unseated long time Representative Mike Honda (D) is this solid democratic district.

Representative Steve Knight (R) was re-elected over Bryan Caforio (D). This race had been considered a chance for Democrats to flip a seat from red to blue, but the national election swept this toss-up seat into the Republican column re-electing Rep. Knight.

A surprisingly competitive race incumbent between Representative Darrell Issa (R) and retired Marine Corps office Doug Applegate (D). This southern California district had gone from being a sure Republican seat this cycle to a highly competitive race.

Incumbent Representative Scott Peters (D) was re-elected over businesswoman Denis Gitsham (R) for this San Diego based seat in Congress. This district had been a target for Republicans to pick up a seat this election, but national headwinds and a strong campaign by Peters prevented the seat from switching parties.
